I bought a red leather sofa so I really when out on a limb when purchasing these chairs because reds can be so different.  Plus, I was having a party and had to have my LR looking great.  I was so happy when they arrived.  They arrived on time (although I did pay extra for fast shipping), they came perfectly boxed and in perfect condition.  I just lifted them out of the box.  Yes, the cushions are a bit hard but for the first time in a long time, I enjoy watching TV sitting in one.  I am 5'3 and I am quite comfortable.  I had been looking at other red chairs on this website and the reason that I went with these is that another reviewer showed a picture and mention that they are a deep red.  They are indeed a deep red so if you are looking for a fire engine red, these are not for you.  I am very thrilled with my purchase.
